About Me

badge

I love my big ol' Alaskan Malamute, Glacier! I am happyily married to my bestfriend,Jim! I love and cherish my family! My life is blessed! I live in sunny Califonia! Love that I live so close to the ocean and mountains and lakes, et

I hope no one thinks ill of me for posting so much on me! But I was just taking ques from all the examples people left or talked about! Thanks for taking a peek!

I have very much enjoyed all the swaps...except those that I have been flaked on. One thing you will notice is that I am wonderful swapper I tend to spoil my partner! I love the new rules here now. Hopefully I will have some really fun swaps!

I really love handmade items. And have really expanded my swaps. I have some new ones I can't wait to dive into! Happy Swapping!

Highly allergic to cigarette smoke! Please be careful if you are a smoker put things in ziplock bags,to keep smoke smell out. Nothing worst than throwing out items because they are saturated with smoke smell. Thanks in advance!

Please rate in a timely manner, when you receive a swap don't wait a week to rate, get on the computer and rate! Biggest pet peeve, waiting for ever for a rating after I sent out a wonderful swap. Show some respect! Thank for allowing me to rant a bit...lol!

Also as a side note, I do REswap things I can't use, or don't need. And try to REcycle packaging when I can.

Private swaps!

Anyone wanting to do a private swap with me...PLEASE pm me! I would love to do more private swaps with fantastic swappers (artists). I put a lot time and effort into my swaps and would very much like to meet some swappers who do the same!

Scents that I like/dislike:

I am allergic to anything scented with vanilla...makes me very sick/headaches and nausea! But funny thing I can eat anything made with REAL vanilla bean!

Scents that I just love for candles: Any type of baked goods! Some floral. Love clean scents (linen,cotton,etc) But not vanilla! Or pine!

Favorite Movies

I am a movie BUFF! I have seen a ton of movies to my shame! I love them. They take you way on a wonderful journey. I love romantic comedys, action, thrillers, disney, almost anything EXCEPT HORROR!

Altered Items & Handmade

Let me just say...I ADORE HANDMADE and HANDCRAFTED! I love anything altered. Handmade anything will most likely earn you hearts! I have swapped with a many talented crafters, and I want to thank you for putting such time and effort into your swaps! I can't thank you enough.

Favorite Crafts

I love doing scrapbooking and photograpy. But I have done all types of crafts. I will give it a try and then master it and then move on. Weird like that but there are so many different things I want to try. That I don't want to get stuck with doing one craft. But scrapbooking is my true love!

Anything depicting English Robins/Robins or any cute chubby birds, thought this one cute idea..due to my name - Robyn.

Tea & coffee(decaf), and chocolate!

Vintage hats, especially berets or cloche style, also a cute idea.

Dog collars (I have a Alaskan Malamute so XL collars fit him). (I know alot of us love the same things, so I borrowed some ideas from fellow swappers, to help me a quick list together.)

Anything from ETSY favorites list!

Comment: I don't know how you did it, but you got the perfect things for me! I don't think I've ever mentioned on this site-but I LOVE Rag dolls and this one even matches the brand new quilt I just got for my bed! The wallet is just perfect, my daughter has one similar to it and I was just thinking the other day how nice it would be to have one. The notecards are terrific and I know I will be able to make something cute with the Ted-E-Bear applique. Thanks bunches and bunches--I wish I could give you more than one heart!
Response: You are so very welcome! I had a blast shopping for you! I got a vibe off your profile...vintage buttons,etc. And then I came across her...WHAM! I knew she was perfect! I had to get her! And the other stuff was fun to hunt for! Enjoy!

Comment: Update------------->>> 1/4/09 I have just come home and I have received a wonderful package so full of goodies. I love all the vintage items, especially the apron, all the items you made, especially the accordian book in a box, the beads, the ribbons, and I adore the hat, it is beautiful. Thank you so much and I am glad you were able to get back on line.--------->>>12/24/08I don't like doing this, but it is Christmas Eve and you haven't even sent it yet. This was the one swap that I signed up for for a Christmas present and I am so incredibly disappointed not to receive it for Christmas. I received your message on the 9th that you would be late, but never imagined you would not even send it in time for Christmas. You have not logged on since that day and at this point I don't know what to think. This was a high end swap and it definitely is not a Merry Christmas to Me. I will re-rate if and when I receive.
Response: Update! -------------->>> 1/4/09 I am so very pleased you loved everything! I thought you might like the hat (a hat to start the new year!)! It is truly beautiful., the artist is inspiring! You are so welcome and I wanted to make sure that you got a box that indeed make up for not having a the 'christmas' that you thought of! So instead of Merry Christmas I will say HAPPY NEW YEAR ------>>> Vicki! Vicki! I am truly sorry that I have ruined your christmas. I feel just horrible about my lateness and your hurt feelings. I have now sent your package off and have im'd you your confirmation number so you can track your package. I do hope you will like some of the things and that some of them will bring a smile to your face. Again, I am truly very sorry about disappointing you. :(
